INDONESIA, CENTRAL JAVA, 10TH CENTURY18 1/2 in. (47 cm) high
注脚
印度尼西亞 爪哇中部 十世紀 安山岩俱毘羅像Kubera, god of wealth, is seated on a lotus base in a position of royal ease, his plump corpulent body carved out of Indonesia's volcanic stone. His full, rounded face glows with a joyful expression, as a gentle smile curls his wide lips. Above, he is adorned with a floral diadem. Compare the present sculpture to a figure of Kumara, formerly in the Alsdorf Collection (Pal, Collecting Odyssey, Chicago, 1997, p.67, cat. no.79). Also compare the treatment of the crown and jewels on a figure of Nandisvara in Fontein, The Sculpture of Indonesia, Washington D.C., 1990, p.127, cat. no.8.
